While acknowledging his desire to stay, he accepted that the final call rests with the club hierarchy.
“It’s their decision and that’s fine for me. I will try my best in the games and in training,” he added, insisting his focus remains strictly on performing for the team.
What Mac Allister previously said about his future at Liverpool
The midfielder previously raised eyebrows earlier this season when he publicly expressed his frustration after being left without a contract offer.
Into the final two years of his current deal, Mac Allister confessed he was “very, very sad” that Liverpool chose not to open renewal negotiations, particularly after seeing midfield peers Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch sign fresh terms.
He even revealed that a exit was a realistic option during the summer transfer window before he opted to stay and give his all for the Reds.
Clubs linked with Mac Allister
With negotiations frozen, European giants are closely monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation.
Real Madrid have long been credited with an interest in the Argentine international, with reports suggesting the Spanish giants could pounce if Liverpool fail to tie him down.
Chelsea continue to show interest in signing him, having pursued in the summer while Manchester United and Manchester City were also linked with the Argentine.
Several top European clubs remain on high alert as Mac Allister continues to star on the pitch, most recently bagging a brilliant brace vs Villareal in the Champions League on Tuesday night, while his future on Merseyside grows increasingly uncertain.
